Just got back from the figure drawing thing I model for... only two artists tonight so we half-assed it. We talked about the relationship between mental illness and art. I fully believe every good artist has some degree of mental defect. It enables us to see the world differently than the masses. We see beauty in ugliness, character in mundanity, and evoke emotion with everyday things. Now I'm definately not saying we're all psychotic or anything but we are a little off.
I'm not modelling for the class for a few weeks but the organizer offerred to let me come to draw without paying the fee. I think I'm going to take her up on that offer, I like it there. I haven't done much (if anything) since I've been out of school either.
